书籍简介

1965年,一位年轻的,有前途的插画家名叫爱德华。在他每月97美元的曼哈顿公寓里，他撕开了地板上的一层又一层油毡后发现了一个隐藏的宝藏：1936年出版的《纽约每日新闻》和《镜报》里的每篇文章都有好莱坞明星女演员玛丽·阿斯特(Mary astor)关于孩子监护权的丑闻，还有一本日记，里面详细记载了她的无数风流韵事。由此他开始了长达半个世纪的痴迷，并在《玛丽·阿斯特的紫色日记》中达到了顶峰，《纽约时报书评》(The New York Times Book Review/)对丑闻的描述非常有魅力，在书中，索雷尔讲述并说明了这位奥斯卡获奖女演员的痛苦，以及他自己发现一位不太可能的缪斯女神的故事。

《玛丽·阿斯特的紫色日记》是美国最伟大的插画家之一的人生杰作。如今，这本令人惊叹的平装本收录了60多张令人着迷的原始插图。

In 1965, a young, up-and-coming illustrator by the name of Edward Sorel tore away layer after layer of linoleum from the floor of his $97-a-month Manhattan apartment until he discovered a hidden treasure: issues of The New York Daily News and the Mirror from 1936, each ablaze with a scandalous child custody trial taking place in Hollywood starring the actress Mary Astor-and the journal in which she detailed her numerous affairs. Thus began a half-century obsession that reached its peak in Mary Astor's Purple Diary, "a thoroughly charming" (The New York Times Book Review/) account of the scandal in which Sorel narrates and illustrates the travails of the Oscar-winning actress alongside his own personal story of discovering an unlikely muse.

Now in a stunning paperback, featuring more than sixty ribald and rapturous original illustrations, Mary Astor's Purple Diary is the life's masterpiece of one of America's greatest illustrators.
